Posttraumatic rehabilitation
The SkyTec Interactive trainers are also very effective in posttraumatic rehabilitation. Svetlana Mustaeva, the doctor of Rehabilitation Centrum “Chayka”, Moscow, speaks:
“During ski season the amateur skiers and snowboarders form a big part among the patient of our Centrum. Most of them were not prepared to skiing and as a result have different traumas.
The most typical traumas among skiers are injuries of ligamentous apparatus of knee-joint, anterior crucial ligament and meniscus, lower extremities fractures. The traumas among snowboarders are upper extremities fractures and injuries of ligamentous apparatus of shoulder joint (You know, snowboarder usually fall on their arms).
From the point of rehabilitation the SkyTec Interactive ski trainer is the apparatus for active mechanotherapy and we get very good results of its usage in our Centrum. Except of strengthening of ligaments and muscles of legs and back, this machine helps to mount the biological feedback due to the direct analysis of the results of the movements, to create the correct locomotive stereotype, to get rid of fear and to get the confidence in moving. The computer control and visualization play here the big part.
As a result, due to the using of the SkyTec Interactive trainer the rehabilitation period decreases and many of our patients are more quickly restored.
It should be also mentioned that we use the SkyTec Interactive trainer not only for rehabilitation after specific traumas that one can get on the ski slope, but also for rehabilitation after different traumas of lower extremities and back.”
